It could be the real cause why the GPU isn't in the top position, though I'm not referencing anything specific—I'm just guessing from official Intel data for the 10700KF.
Even with a constant 4 GHz clock speed, the CPU performs well compared to being locked at 3.8 GHz. You get good speed without overheating issues, though the all-in-one unit may still manage at its top capacity.
When using the Windows High Performance power plan and disabling C states, the CPU stays at a constant speed whether it's idle or busy. This behavior isn't problematic. Switch to the Windows Balanced plan if you wish to observe a slower performance under light load. For Intel Turbo Boost to function properly, enable the core C states in the BIOS. Most monitoring tools fail to accurately display Intel Turbo Boost on B-series boards. Consider using ThrottleStop 9.6, which employs high-performance timers inside the CPU and aligns with Intel's recommended monitoring approach. https://www.techpowerup.com/download/tec...ottlestop/ When your desktop is idle, access the C states window to verify core activation. It should indicate that idle cores are using nearly all available time in core C7. If all values are 0.0, Turbo Boost won't operate fully. If Turbo Boost works correctly, ThrottleStop should record a speed above 4.68 GHz during a single-threaded test. Execute the ThrottleStop TS Bench with one thread enabled. Avoid using Cinebench's single-core test—it loads multiple cores. Skip CPU-Z's single-thread test as it uses two cores. Capture a ThrottleStop screenshot while running a single-thread session for reference. If issues arise, share ThrottleStop screenshots along with FIVR and TPL logs to confirm BIOS configuration. Disable other monitoring applications during testing; they lack precision for Turbo Boost reporting.
I checked the bios and adjusted the C states setting to enabled. Despite that, the frequency stayed below 4.7 ghz during the single-thread test.
This often means your BIOS isn't configuring the CPU properly. Are you using the most recent BIOS update? In ThrottleStop, look at the MMIO Lock area at the top right of the Turbo Power Limits window. Also verify the Speed Shift option within that window. Capture a screenshot of the Limit Reasons window during the 1 Thread test.
The BIOS determines the highest multiplier for the CPU. This is likely the cause. If the BIOS assigns a maximum multiplier of 47, it restricts your CPU to that value. BIOS glitches are frequent. Another option exists in the Windows power settings to cap CPU speed. Here’s how to add access to the Maximum processor frequency setting in Windows power plan: https://www.majorgeeks.com/content/page/...uency.html The default of 0 permits full performance. If it’s set to 0, a BIOS problem is probable. In ThrottleStop, the PP0 Power Limit check isn’t required. You may adjust the PP0 Turbo Time Limit to the smallest value, 0.0010 seconds. This doesn’t appear to be the issue you’re facing. Edit – If you can view RW Everything, share a screenshot of the Memory tab with Address set to FED15900. This will indicate whether your motherboard uses this method to control CPU speed.
